"Thanks again for taking me aboard, Sparrow," Adam said as he knocked back a swig of rum, careful to keep it from spilling on his newly dried greatcoat.
"Don't mention it...What did you say your name was again?" Jack asked.
"Lambert. Captain Adam Lambert," he gestured widely with his hand.
"Of what ship?"
"The Trespassing,” Adam’s face screwed up, “Although currently that ship is in the hands of the lovely Royal Navy," Adam practically spat the words, "As is its crew...I had to sit, clinging to a damn piece of wood watching my ship sail away," Adam turned his face out to the sea, eyes searching for something that wasn’t there.
"I know how that feels love, trust me," Jack said.
"I suppose you would Captain Jack Sparrow,” Adam smiled at him, “Unfortunately I was not left with a pistol, nor anywhere near an island. It wasn't but luck that I was even found by a ship, let alone a pirate one who'd be willing to take me aboard," Adam laughed lightly.
"Luck...Or perhaps just my keen intuition, Mr. Lambert," Jack spoke up.
"CAPTAIN Lambert," Adam corrected with a wink. Jack tilted his hat at him.
"Of course. Now Captain Lambert...” Jack tilted back in his chair and clapped his hands together, “Where ye be headed?"
"The real question, Sparrow, is where are you taking me? Because I plan to get off as soon as you make land so as to try and regain my ship,"
"Well, I suppose...” Jack appeared to think about it for a moment, “The crew and I could afford a brief stop at Tortuga..."
"That would be much appreciated,” Adam tried to hold back a smirk, “Let me guess, you're running low on rum?"
"It's nearly gone," Jack said with devastation in his voice.
Adam lifted up his bottle in a toast.
"I shall treasure this then," He said quietly and took another sip before looking back up to meet Jack’s gaze. The two stared at each other for a moment longer than was needed. Jack cleared his throat loudly.
"So, I'll set you up a spot in the sleeping quarters, provide you with food, shelter and rum and you shall tarry about the ship until we make berth in Tortuga, savvy?" He raised an eyebrow in question. Adam pursed his lips as he thought the captain’s words over.
"Sounds about right. Except for one thing...You're really going to put me up in the crew's quarters? A respected pirate captain? What kind of propriety is that? I should have place in the Captain’s chamber," Adam folded his arms and pouted.
"If you’re so respected how come I hadn't heard of you?" Jack taunted.
"That's because I like to keep myself a secret," Adam retorted.
"Well, I suppose, in the matter of decency for a ship captain...” Jack gestured to Adam, who nodded, “There could be enough room for you to share the Captain's chambers aboard my ship," he trailed off, not meeting Adam’s eyes.
Adam narrowed his eyes and smiled, leaning forward to murmur in Jack's ear.
"T'would be much appreciated..." Jack looked up and met Adam’s eyes. He put out a hand for Adam to shake.
"It was a pleasure rescuing you from the sea Adam Lambert," he said. Adam smiled and shook hands, both men heavily ringed.
"Likewise. And I shall see you tonight...Jack Sparrow,"
"Likewise,"

“Lambert!” Jack sauntered over the ship to where Adam stood at the bow of the ship, coat flapping in the wind along with the feather in his hat, hands placed proudly on his hips. He turned around when he heard Jack approaching.
“Yes Captain?” he asked.
“Why on earth did you relieve those two dimwits of duty!?” Jack accused.
“They were practically dead on their feet. Having them on guard would do more harm than good,” Adam replied, flippant.
“That’s why I keep the idiots on guard! So they don’t muck up anything else!” Jack insisted.
“Then why do you keep them aboard at all?” Adam asked with a quirk of his eyebrow.
“Because…because…I am the captain of this ship and I say so!” Jack flailed his arms around at the indignity of his authority being usurped. Captain Lambert had been doing it all day. The moment he had been let loose on deck, Adam had turned from stranded ship captain into an insolent cheeky thorn in Jack’s side.
Jack would say one thing, and moments later Adam would come by and change the orders, claiming his way was actually better than Jack’s! The scallywag… Jack turned to glare at him
“I’m regretting letting you near my rum,”
“No you aren’t darling. You should see me without it,” Adam winked, “I’m insufferable,”
“You’re insufferable now!” Jack insisted.
“That’s what you think,” Adam retorted. “When I’m on my ship-”
“This is not your ship!” Jack interrupted, flailing again, this time reaching for his sword. He whipped it out and put it at the other man’s throat. Adam just raised his eyebrows and hands up slightly, nonplussed, “This is my ship! Black Pearl! Captain Jack Sparrow! My ship! And you-you…” he trailed off, unable to come up with the insult of proper magnitude. Adam smiled a saucy grin.
“I what?”
Jacks huffed in a deep breath through his nose and had to forcibly lower his sword. He whipped around and in search of his first mate. Most of the crew had been watching the exchange in silence, heads flipping back and forth between the two men.
“Gibbs! Search the horizon! First island we see, I’m dumping him!” He concluded. Adam just smirked. Gibbs came up and put a calming hand on Jack’s shoulder
“Captain? Perhaps ye should rest for a wee bit? Clear your head? Wouldn’t want to be making any rash decisions now…”
“You should listen to your first mate Jack,” Adam interjected. Jack turned to give him a heated glare before looking back at Gibbs and his crew.
“I see now! You’re all on his side!”
“Well, to be fair, I have much better taste…” Adam added. Gibbs then turned to look at him
“And Captain Lambert, perhaps ye should wait below…” he said.
“If you say so,” Adam shrugged, “Ta-Ta now Captain!” He gave a coy little finger wave before disappearing below deck. Jack once again turned to Gibbs.
“Why are you taking his side!? I’m the captain!” He asked in a huff.
“Aye sir,” Gibbs acknowledged, “But well the crew and I have taken a notice that well-”
“What?”
“He reminds us a bit of you sir,” Gibbs said with a shrug.
“What!? There is no one like me!” Jack said flabbergasted, “And I am not like him!” he added.
“Think about it Captain. If you were trapped aboard another captain’s ship, would you be content to just pratter about and be a good passenger?” Gibbs posed. Jack frowned as he thought it over.
“I wouldn’t act like him…” he insisted, borderline pouting.
“If you say so Captain…”
